Mean Woman Blues
Black And White Night Lyrics

If you ever wonder how I'll be.
If you ever question my well-being, know that you can always reach out to me for comfort.

Call on me, now.
Don't hesitate to ask for my help and support when you need it.

I told myself better than anyone that I see
I have confidence in my abilities and know that I can rely on myself better than anyone else.

Ain't no mean woman ever gonna let me be no...
I refuse to let any unkind woman disturb my peace or hold me back from my goals.

If you ever think of me at night.
If you ever find yourself thinking of me during your quiet moments.

It's alright now.
Don't worry or feel guilty about it - there's nothing wrong with remembering me.

But your out lookin the daytime don't look bright
However, if you continue to act in ways that are unkind or negative, you may find that your future looks bleak and unhappy.

Cause mean ole' woman your personality is a fright girl, a fright girl.
Your personality is so unpleasant and frightening that it repels others and creates negativity wherever you go.

If you ever look at me and smile all the while now.
If you ever see me and acknowledge me with a smile.

It may be near, but it might as well be a mile
It might appear to be a small gesture, but if it's insincere, it's not worth anything to me.

'Cause mean ole' woman I just don't like your style, no. Oh, style no!
I can't stand the way you behave or treat others, and it's not something I want to be associated with.

If you ever want to see me near.
If you ever want to spend time with me or be close to me.

Be sincere now.
You must be genuine and authentic, or else there is no point in us interacting.

The way you're actin' is just one thing that fear
Your current behavior or attitude is concerning and makes me uneasy, for many reasons.

Mean woman you're just pretending that you're a dear girl
Deep down, despite your attempts to seem kind or friendly, your true nature is unkind and unpleasant.
